Social Media

Please connect with us on social media! We want to hear from you and your business. COVR social media is a great place to connect with other COVR members. While it's industry standard to post on your own page daily, here at COVR we encourage you to post weekly on our pages.

However, now that the awards season is officially open, we do allow and encourage more frequent product and self-promotion posting--please, no more than once a day.
